Curtly Ambrose

Sir Curtly Elconn Lynwall Ambrose (born September 21, 1963) is an Antiguan cricketer who represented the West Indies in 98 Test matches. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time, having taken 405 Test wickets at an average of 20.99 and being voted the best bowler in the world for much of his career. His height of 6 feet 7 inches (2.01 m) let him to make the ball bounce particularly high after delivery, which, along with his velocity and accuracy, made him a difficult bowler to face for batsman. Known for being a man of few words throughout his career, he was infamous for his aversion to speaking with media.


In 1992, he was named one of Wisden Cricketers of the Year, and after retiring, he was inducted into the International Cricket Council Hall of Fame and named to a panel of experts as one of the West Indies' all-time XI.
